Most of the described species in kingdom Fungi are contained in two phyla, the Ascomycota
and the Basidiomycota (subkingdom Dikarya). As a result, our understanding of the biology …

Compared to multicellular fungi and unicellular yeasts, unicellular fungi with free-living
flagellated stages (zoospores) remain poorly known and their phylogenetic position is often …

The kingdom of fungi provides model organisms for biotechnology, cell biology, genetics,
and life sciences in general. Only when their phylogenetic relationships are stably resolved …

Phylogenomic analyses have boosted our understanding of the evolutionary trajectories of
all living forms by providing continuous improvements to the tree of life. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Within …

Phylogenomic studies using genome-scale amounts of data have greatly improved
understanding of the tree of life. Despite the diversity, ecological significance, and …

Background At present, there is not a widely accepted consensus view regarding the
phylogenetic structure of kingdom Fungi although two major phyla, Ascomycota and …

Ascomycota, the largest and most well-studied phylum of fungi, contains three subphyla:
Saccharomycotina (budding yeasts), Pezizomycotina (filamentous fungi), and …

The fungal kingdom comprises a hyperdiverse clade of heterotrophic eukaryotes
characterized by the presence of a chitinous cell wall, the loss of phagotrophic capabilities …

Fungi are ecologically important heterotrophs that have radiated into most niches on Earth
and fulfil key ecological services. Despite intense interest in their origins, major genomic …

Many of the eukaryotic phylogenomic analyses published to date were based on alignments
of hundreds to thousands of genes. Frequently, in such analyses, the most realistic …
